Bacteriology of Unshelled Frozen Blue Swimming Crab (Portunus pelagicus)

Journal of Food Protection, 2004
In this study, 45 (10 whole specimens and 35 frozen claws) frozen samples of Portunus pelagicus imported into Sicily (Italy) from the west coast of Africa were examined to assess their bacteriological characteristics and suitability for consumption. Bacteriological examination was performed on two subsamples for each whole crab.

Moult cycle specific differential gene expression profiling of the crab Portunus pelagicus. [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2011
AbstractBackgroundCrustacean moulting is a complex process involving many regulatory pathways. A holistic approach to examine differential gene expression profiles of transcripts relevant to the moulting process, across all moult cycle stages, was used in this study. Custom cDNA microarrays were constructed forPortunus pelagicus.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Portunus pelagicus with implications for phylogenomics

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2016
This study determined the mitochondrial genome structure of the blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus), and elucidated its phylogenetic relationships among the species within the order Decapoda. The complete mitochondrial genome was 16,155 bp long, and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 DNA control ...

Induced thermal stress on serotonin levels in the blue swimmer crab, Portunus pelagicus. [PDF]

Biochem Biophys Rep, 2016
The temperature of habitat water has a drastic influence on the behavioral, physiological and biochemical mechanisms of crustaceans. Hyperglycemia is a typical response of many aquatic animals to harmful physical and chemical environmental changes.

Evidence of Cheliped Autotomy and Regeneration in the Lower Miocene Crab Achelous monspeliensis From Portugal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Crab autotomy with evidence of regeneration is described for the first time in the fossil record. Autotomy is a defensive behavior that affects more males than females of Achelous monspeliensis and may be related to mating season. ABSTRACT Autotomy—the voluntary shedding of a limb as a defensive response to predation, intraspecific aggression, or ...

Reproductive Biology of Portunus pelagicus in a South-East Australian Estuary [PDF]

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2010
Abstract Portunus pelagicus (blue swimmer crab) is widely distributed and fished throughout the indo-west Pacific, but little is known of its biology and ecology in southeast Australia. In this study, the reproductive biology of P. pelagicus inhabiting Wallis Lake, a large coastal lake that supports the largest regional commercial fishery for the ...

Effects of Prawn Shell Meal Diets on Hemocyte Count, Hemolymph Clotting, and Sperm Quality of the Freshwater Prawn Macrobrachium caementarius

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Crustacean shells are composed of chitin, which is bound to protein and minerals, along with other essential nutrients. These components are necessary for growth, immune response, the formation of reproductive structures, and the enhancement of sperm quality.

Bait Management and Depth‐Based Catch Distribution of Economically Important Marine Crabs in the Visayan Sea, Philippines

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Efficient bait management and deployment strategies are essential for improving the sustainability of artisanal crab pot fisheries. This study investigated the effects of bait type, bait quantity and depth on the catch, size and bycatch composition of marine crabs in the crab pot fisheries in the Visayan Sea, Philippines.
